Porsche already confirmed that its new SUV ll in fact will be called the Macan, a name derived from the Indonesian word for tiger. The name combines suppleness, power, fascination and dynamics. The new Macan will be the fifth model in Porsche’s line-up and will be produced in Leipzig starting 2013.
As an attractive entry model in the Porsche world, it will attract new and even younger customers to the premium brand along with the Boxster, the market leader in the segment of two-seater, mid-size sports cars. The macan will also have a very good Porsche's trademark with its typical Porsche features such as light weight, ease of handling, electronic control and agility of turning.

According to Autocar, Porsche will fit the Macan Turbo with a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 370 horsepower and 400 lb/ft of torque. Likewise, the Macan will also be mated to a standard seven-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed, dual-clutch PDK automatic advanced transmission.
Porsche will likely offer a Macan S variant that comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that develops 295 horsepower, so it will be the luxurious sports car with an engine that enough to satisfy the speed freak. How about the price?
Well, just wait for the news.
